Lose The Buddy System

[The_Rusty_Spoon22]

Personally I don't see a need for it. so much of the game is solo oriented. Most people who buddy with you just go off on their own anyway. We all have our own goals to complete.

Also when the top two players are working together it can be really annoying. Maybe take the buddy button away when you become King at the very least?

+1 kings don't need buddies... should be disabled in that case and I also don't really see the point of the system as you don't share kills, or well anything

An occasional team event could be fun. they could do capture the flag or timed matches and whatever team has the most kills win.

Yes, many possibilities with the game. Still waiting for a true Battle Royale event as well, where everyone has only one life and the last one standing wins.

The thing is, if they add more events then the player base will be split up more than it already is when an event is on. They need more players first - and a consistent amount of them.

Repair wrenches are shared with your buddy.
Being buddied prevents the automatic attack in melee from damaging each other.
For the "Kill N of X crab" quests kills from both buddies count as progress.
Multikill points are awarded to both buddies when either gets a multikill.

There's quite a bit shared.

That's debatable, but even so there should be some downsides too, to buddying up.

if you happen to be working on the same goal that's helpful but how often that lines up is questionable.

If they take away the prevention of the auto attack that might help balance it a little. you could still buddy up and work together but you would have to watch your distance.

I think buddies feature needs to be separated to another server. You can pick: solo game or party. I just prefer solo gameplay, and it's annoying when 2 players attacking me.

i strongly disagree with this me my family 3 of us actually enjoys playing together in all events... this game makes you feel like a brainless zombie in my PERSONAL experience when i'm playing all by myself but with family members playing together this mindless game doesn't seem BORING anymore instead its more enjoyable....

I mean I have to disagree with you. When 2 are 'buddied up' they just mindlessly kill everything they come across because it's a lot easier/faster than on your own. On your own you actually need to think, pay attention and use your skills to survive.

you are right! i had a change of heart... KINGS needs to LOOSE buddy system... its better if there would be a separate event for buddy system.... now if there were only a way to put a POLL for this discussion so everybody can vote or something for us to know whether or not the majority agrees... sorry for my bad english its not my native tongue...

Yeah I support that except the problem is that the playerbase will be split up so each server will have less total people playing.
